The Process of Adaptation to Training and Its Impact on Throwing Velocity
If you train hard and are consistent for a long period of time, you’ll likely get better at your chosen sport, right? Well maybe, but it depends on the specifics of how you choose to spend your training time and the biological response to that training. This has...
Differentiating the Training for Segments of a High Velocity Delivery
In this video we discuss the different roles that various body segments play during a high velocity delivery. We discuss how the demands on each segment are different and therefore the adaptations that we're training toward and the methods used will necessarily...
Gaining 13mph in 13 Months: The Hayden Hair Story
If you've been curious about the process we go through with assessing athletes, designing programs, and how this all comes together in real life, this is the video for you. In this video I take you on a deep dive into the process of how one of our athletes gained 13...
Improve Your Throwing Velocity: Extensive Plyometrics for the Upper Body
In this video I take a deep dive into what extensive plyometrics are, how they can be applied to the upper body, some specific progressions we use, and what implications they have for throwing velocity. Interested in remote or in-person training? Contact me and let's...
Why Training to Failure Inhibits the Development of Throwing Velocity
Training hard is a necessity if you want to maximize results from your training program. This is often misconstrued as the need to train to failure on every set of every movement. While this may lead to some results when an athlete first begins training, is this the...
Mechanisms of Adaptation to High Velocity Throwing
High intensity throwing is commonly included in velocity development programs, but most athletes and coaches don't understand why it improves velocity. In this article for Simplifaster I discuss the specifics of the mechanisms of adaptation so that coaches and...
Quantifying and Managing Throwing Workload, Part 2
In part 2 of this series I discuss how to practically apply the quantification and management of workloads to determine how to fit in periods of reduced throwing loads while still maximizing development. Download our FREE workload tracking tool here. Interested in...
Quantifying and Managing Throwing Workload
The ability to quantify and manage workload is important year round, but becomes even more important during the season as workloads tend to rise. Preparation prior to the start of the season plays a huge role in the ability of an athlete to stay healthy and to...
Go From a Pushing to Pulling Arm Action Using This Blending Series
In this video I discuss how we've taken athletes from a pushing arm action to a pulling arm action using this blending series. We cover what blending is, the logic behind each movement chosen, and how to put other blending series together. Interested in training with...
